The first global fish migration poster featuring migratory fish from all over the world and their swimming routes.

Swimways of the world

What is the Swimway poster?

Migratory fish are real athletes. Some swim thousands of miles, migrating from
their place of birth to locations where they can find food or suitable habitats to
reproduce. They depend on free flowing rivers to survive. Their routes present
many challenges like rapids, waterfalls and fishing nets, but also the claws and
jaws of predators like grizzly bears and sea eagles.
Fish species illustrated in the poster are shown with an arrow that represents their swimming direction. This Swimways poster has been produced for World Fish Migration Day.
